If you’re struggling with credit card debt, you’re not alone.

According to Experian’s 2024 Consumer Debt Study, the average American household with credit card balances carries a debt of $7,951. With interest rates hovering around 22 to 24%, the monthly payments can spiral quickly.

You may be asking the question:
Can you actually get your debt canceled?

The answer is yes! In many cases, you can resolve your debt for less than you owe through a structured debt relief program.

What Does “Debt Cancellation” Mean?

Debt cancellation doesn’t mean your balances vanish overnight. It means:

• You no longer have to repay the full balance.
  
• You stop making high-interest minimum payments.
  
• You shift to one lower, affordable monthly payment.
• Your accounts can be marked as resolved once settlements are reached.
  

Debt relief programs help you reduce your principal debt through creditor negotiation. These programs aren’t based on new loans or temporary payment deferrals. They’re based on actually reducing the amount you actually owe.

How Debt Relief Programs Work

Here’s what happens step by step.

1. You enroll in a plan customized for your current debt and income.
   
2. Your monthly payment drops immediately. Instead of juggling multiple minimum payments, you start contributing a single lower amount.
   
3. Your funds grow in a dedicated account under your control.
   
4. Negotiators contact your creditors to secure reduced payoff amounts.
   
5. Debts are typically settled for 40 to 50% less than the original amount, before fees.
   

This structure provides consistent and predictable progress without requiring another loan.

Who Qualifies for Debt Relief?

Debt relief, while a great option, isn’t for every financial situation. It works best if you:

• Owe more than $10,000 in unsecured debt.
  
• Currently struggle to make minimum payments.
  
• Are behind on accounts or will be soon.
  
• Want a faster, more manageable way out of debt.
  

Debt relief isn’t for mortgages or auto loans. This solution focuses on unsecured debts like:

• Credit cards
  
• Medical bills
  
• Personal loans
  
• Store cards
  

If you feel stuck and unable to make real progress towards paying off your balances, this might be your most practical next move.

Why Creditors Are Willing to Settle

Creditors know the risks when someone can’t pay.

If an account stays delinquent, the credit card companies may get nothing. By settling, they can at least recover a portion — often 40 to 60 cents on the dollar — and close the account.

That’s why debt relief companies like American Credit Card Solutions can successfully negotiate on behalf of their clients. They understand the creditor mindset and behavior. They handle settlements daily and apply that insight to your financial situation.

What You Can Expect to Save

Let’s look at a typical example.

If you owe $25,000 in credit card debt:

• At a 22% APR, interest charges alone could cost you $5,500 annually.
  
• Minimum monthly payments could exceed $600.
  
• It may take over 15 years to pay it off with minimums, costing you over $50,000, more than double what you initially owed.
  

With a debt relief program:

• You may see your monthly payment drop to $350 or less.
  
• You could settle for $12,500 to $15,000 total before fees.
  
• You could finish the program in 24 to 48 months.
  

You get one easy to manage monthly payment, a clear end date, and substantial savings.

How This Compares to Other Options

Let’s break it down how other debt solutions compare:

Balance Transfers

• Temporary 0% interest.
  
• Requires good credit.
  
• Often comes with hidden fees.
  

Personal Loans

• Fixed rate and term.
• Still a loan to repay in full.
• Doesn’t reduce the balance.
  

Bankruptcy

• Long-term public record.
  
• Legal fees and court involvement.
  
• Serious financial consequences.
  

Minimum Payments

• Designed to benefit the lender.
  
• Mostly covers interest.
  
• May take decades to pay off.
  

Debt relief helps you lower the amount owed,  pay less monthly, and gets you out of debt faster. It’s not about postponing debt. It’s about actually resolving it.

What Makes the Monthly Payment Lower?

The drop in your monthly payment comes from three changes:

• You’re no longer paying high interest to multiple lenders.
  
• You make one predictable monthly contribution.
  
• You’re targeting settlements, not full balances.
  

It’s immediate. It’s structured. And it helps you regain control of your income.

You free up funds for essentials like housing, food, and transportation. You can stop worrying about which credit card to pay this month, since this new monthly payment is tailored to your financial situation.

The Broader Economic Reality

More consumers are falling behind every month.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York:

• Credit card balances hit $1.13 trillion in Q1 2025
  
• 8.9% of accounts are 30+ days past due
  
• Delinquency rates are rising fastest among borrowers aged 30 to 49
  

At the same time, LendingTree reports that the average APR for new credit cards is now over 24%.

If you feel like your payments aren’t making a dent, it’s because they aren’t. But know that you’re not alone in this struggle—you’re part of a national trend.

Debt relief isn’t about giving up. It’s about making a decision to change course and take control of your finances once again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my creditors stop calling?

Once you enroll, American Credit Card Solutions notifies your creditors. While calls may not stop immediately, they typically decrease as the process progresses.

What happens to interest and fees?

When a settlement is finalized, all interest and fees are included in the agreed-upon amount. You don’t pay anything more than that.

Can I still pay off early?

Yes. You’re in control. You can increase your monthly payment or pay off your program balance early with no penalty.

Do I need good credit to qualify?

No. Unlike loans, your credit score doesn’t determine your eligibility. This program is based on your current debt and ability to make consistent payments.
